Brookhaven National Laboratory - National Synchrotron Light Source II
PROJECT COST: $172 million
The light will soon shine faster and brighter at the U.S. Department of Energy's Brookhaven National Laboratory on Long Island, thanks to a multi-phased project to create a new 3 billion electron-volt energy storage ring that will generate X-rays and other types of light 10,000 times more intense than the current facilities.
